Call Me Back? Please?

Forget a possible withdrawl plan from Iraq. Forget the upcoming Middle East Peace Summit. When the Christ God Alamighty are you actually supposed to call? The old-school three day rule will only get you so far. Thanks to the proliferation of possible modes of communication, it doesn't make our lives easier, it just adds a nice clusterfuck to the mindfuck. For example, I called him and he texted me back. So I emailed him and he left me a message on my MySpace page. Am I now supposed to IM him? Write something on his wall in Facebook? Try to hook up with his avatar in Second Life?!? Will I ever actually speak to this guy in the same time/space continuum?
